Joan Gayle Culbert
Tuesday, March 24, 1959 – Monday, May 27, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joan Gayle Culbert on May 27, 2024, at the age of 65, at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, after a long but courageous fight with the many health challenges she faced. Joan’s determination and will to live defied the odds and will be remembered by the doctors and hospital staff she came in contact with over the last three years. We express our deepest thanks to all of them for their compassion and care.
Joan will be forever missed by her husband, Bill, of Cedar Springs. She will be lovingly remembered by her siblings, Jo-Anne (Toronto), Kathryn (Waterloo), Dale (Keswick), Steve (Stayner), Sue (Sarnia), Danny (North Bay), and her many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
Born on March 24, 1959, in Toronto, Joan spent her early years there before moving to Wasaga Beach, where she formed many lifelong friendships and began to proudly proclaim herself a beach girl. Not only will she be fondly remembered for her love of the beach, but also for the love she had for her pets, her Jeeps, her garden, and the time she spent in her kitchen trying new recipes. Joan was a beautiful soul with a heart of gold, and it was a privilege to be known and loved by her.
Joan has been cremated and will be remembered at a Celebration of Life by friends and family at a later date.
~ You did not grow under my heart, but in it. ~
